Description

In BRAIN2 versions prior to 3.09, the
application LogPathConfig.exe is executed during setup. As a result, the
Windows group Everyone is granted full control over %ProgramData% instead of
being restricted to %ProgramData%\Bizerba\BRAIN2.

Starting with BRAIN2 3.09, the setup no
longer executes this tool.

However, the optional component Bizerba ScriptService still executes it.

Bizerba ScriptService is being
deprecated and will no longer be included starting with BRAIN2 version 3.11.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
